I found this to be the best guide when installing ffmpeg.

http://www.videochat-scripts.com/install-ffmpeg-mplayer-flvtool2-yamdi-x264-theora-mp3lame-vorbis-ogg-faac/

Make sure you follow each step. If the install of any dependency fails, retry.

Good luck.

EDIT

The guide doesn't include qt-faststart. Follow this if you need it:

cd ~/ffmpeg
make tools/qt-faststart
sudo checkinstall --pkgname=qt-faststart --pkgversion="$(./version.sh)" --backup=no \
    --deldoc=yes --fstrans=no --default install -D -m755 tools/qt-faststart \
    /usr/local/bin/qt-faststart

Also, follow @pablo's point about git rather than svn.

Centos – FFMpeg-PHP Installation Error

for this:

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to
load dynamic library
'/usr/lib/php/modules/ffmpeg.so' -
libavformat.so.52: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory
in Unknown on line 0

With your ffmpeg configure options you will need

--enable-shared

If you are still having issues check the paths:

 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/
 echo /usr/local/lib > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/custom-libs.conf
 ldconfig

Run:

ldconfig

After

make && make install

Linux – Install FFMPEG on Shared Hosting server

on godaddy, yum is not working.

Of course it's not working, because it's not your server to install packages on.

You may be able to find a statically-linked binary of ffmpeg around, which you should be able to run in a shared hosting environment.

However, if you really need the ability to add/remove packages like this, switch to a VPS solution instead of shared hosting.
